Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

I am also having this issue in Jaunty Jackalope. What information do you need to continue this? It is currently blocking my use of the S/PDIF connector on my laptop (making the "media center" sound pretty horrid).

Hi!
I also got a Tosiba Qosmio Q30. The sound output woks fine but recording (internal or external mic) has a very loud noise ontop of the signal. (and the recording mixer channel is missing)
If you need any information from me please say so

Sorry the report was incomplete in that point.
I can't test the optical output due to lack of hardware. It doesn't seem to work as the optical out should be in "visible" red when working - right?
My main concern is my microphone as I can't use skype or other communication stuff and have to switch to m$ windows all the time :(

Adding alsa-base to packages.
Would someone with Jaunty having issues with this please run "apport-collect 151913" without quotes please?
This should pull in enough information that this can be considered triaged and passed on to developers.
Thank you.
